Release 0.54.1 Full Download for Rebellion 1.95+
& Patch 0.54.2

Sins Of The Younger Races Remastered

NEW - Balvarin Carrier and Minor Factions fix!

 

 

Installation Guide:

  1. Download the latest Sins Remastered mod from here:
    https://www.moddb.com/mods/sinsre
  2. Extract the archive into a 'SinsRemastered' folder in your 'C:\Users\%username%\Documents\My Games\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\Mods-Rebellion v1.85' folder.
  3. Download the latest Babylon 5 Sins of the Younger Races mod from here:
    https://www.moddb.com/mods/sins-of-the-younger-races
  4. Extract the archive into your root 'Mods-Rebellion v1.85' folder instead of a new mod folder as the archive ALREADY contains a premade 'SotyrRemastered' folder inside of it (so if you're not careful you'll end up with a mod folder inside of a mod folder and it won't work lol).
  5. Start Sins and go to 'Options', then 'Mods', and you should see the mods you've installed.
  6. Enable 'SotyrRemastered' and then enable 'SinsRemastered' too. Make sure that the load order is SotyrRemastered first/top and then SinsRemastered second/bottom.
  7. Restart Sins and you should be good to go!

Sometimes the in-game mod loader can be a bit funky so if you can't see the mods you've installed or something isn't working then enabling the mods via the 'EnabledMods.txt' file in your 'Mods-Rebellion v1.85' folder where you installed the mods to is the other alternative. It should look like this to work:

TXT2
SinsArchiveVersion 194
Version 0
enabledModNameCount 2
enabledModName "SotyrRemastered"
enabledModName "SinsRemastered-v0.95b"

Cool, i'm well looking forward to this now. Just the screen shots of the ships are giving me goose bumps they just look so brilliant.

Thanks for your comments! It's a great team effort ... I'm amazed by all the work they've done for this mod and the work they're still doing!

Nice ship - for this ship need good and interesting abilities !

P.S: for "Warlock" may add ability "Scout probe" - when fleet jump into unknown system he may get in trap. And we simply deploy probe and send he. Like this, in series "View with gallery"

Reply #1329 from Sins Forums Top

@SteinerX
Will put them into SVN, no problem =)

 

@Zvezdochets and Koobalt
Wonderful Work!!

 

 

As for Shadow EA Hybrid, it's not on the table for the initial releases, but with time and effort, anything is possible.

Yes ... . interesting abilities give the ships more character. Thanks for your work on them:)

I glad work in our international team! Regrettably, this game in Russia not soo popular as west. And of course, modders extremly little.:'(

TobiWahh_Kenobi - when we see new release ?O:)

SteinerX, when you have more time, please help me - need make texture on new missile for warlock. A want make new engine effect for missiles, without smoke trail. In B-5 unverse missiles use ion engine, without smoke trail [and we shall reduce system load on computer].

Thanks for all.B)

P.S: about "Warlock" - this ship carries too many types of weapon:

Main weapon - two cannons in nose.

Secondary weapon - 8 turret standart particle cannon.

Railguns - 3 turrets.

Small antifighters cannon - 12 turrets.

Main missile weapon - 12 heavy antiship launchers.

Secondary missile weapon - 14 light antifighter launchers.

Probably too many, and antifighter weapon need in good balance.

TobiWahh_Kenobi - when we see new release ?

Hopefully soon, but real life work is keeping me very busy at the moment!


Thanks for all.

We thank you for all the effort you made in supporting this project!

I will only make the most important weapons for the standard 3 weapons. everything additional will either be omitted or made available through abilities.

Warlock as of now has:
Beam weapon(s) - Front

Pulse Weapons (Particle cannons) - All Directions

Missiles - Front

Your welcome ... but Tobiwahn is the mod leader it's his hard work we must appreciate ... my work is just a small part of the B5 teams' excellent contributions ... So, I'll take your thanks to be meant for all the B5 team:)

 

Tobiwahn saved the dying embers of the last B5 mod attempt ... so he has been our "last best hope!"

 

I post a lot of our team's work and contributions for everyone to see and show the progress of the B5 mod ... so can understand your misunderstanding ... all the team works very hard to get this mod to where it is now ... and I'm just a part of that team:

Couldn't do and wouldn't want to ...the curse of PR:)

Reply #1342 from Sins Forums Top

No harm done! I'm really thankful for all the PR SteinerX has done for us! Without it I may have lost hope long ago, so his effort (and all the wonderful work from the other team members - thanks you soo much!!) is what keeps me (and this mod) going!

:thumbsup:

Are you going to integrate Major Stress's Sins Optimization Mod?

Are you going to integrate Major Stress's Sins Optimization Mod?

 

Thanks for highlighting this ... certainly looks worth it!

 

@ Tobiwahn - your thoughts?

Reply #1346 from Sins Forums Top

@SteinerX
Looks interesting. I will see how this progresses, but in the end, I prefer to certify a mod for use with ours (and maybe hand down a link on our websites) and check for compatibility than to integrate it.

Maybe, only if you want to of course, you could post which mods you've tested so far that work with ours (Distant Stars?) including the versions of the mods (and the version of ours) you certified.

For Pre Alpha 0.40 - DIPLOMACY VERSION

There's a lot more updates from the Entrenchment to Diplomacy so that's worth checking out first, and if you want more well there's ...

Manshooter's volumetric mod - Amazing explosions really add alot to the mod visually

Major Stress's Sins Optimization Mod - A WIP with great potential

Can't wait   \o/
The Sharlin looks amazing. Like 50 times better than in the original series.

Reply #1349 from Sins Forums Top

@Twini
Thanks, and I must say I'm very proud to have such great wok by Fileosoft and SteinerX at my disposal!

 

EDIT:
As for the slipped release schedule, I want to make the following statement - I'm sorry to delay the release once again, as I have a really important project to finish in real life (the one that pays the bills X| ) and had to devote much of my spare time for the job, so I haven't had the time I wished I had for finishing the parts I want to include in release 0.40
Nevertheless, I work on it, so please give me just a little more time, I have not forgotten you all!

 

Thanks

Yours TobiWahn_Kenobi
